Re: Computerworld reports Linkedin Passwords have all been compromis

Hi!
The report actualy mentions "usernames and passwords". My LinkedIn username is my email address, and I would bet by the huge increase in SPAM that started in early May (a 20-fold increase) that they've had the email addresses since then.
